Members MrQuartermaine Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 Correct. The "Hooterville Universe" consisted of "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962-1971), "Petticoat Junction" (1963-1970), "Green Acres" (1965-1971), Return of the Beverly Hillbillies (1981), & Return to Green Acres (1990), & The Legend of the Beverly Hillbillies (1993).

Members SFK Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, that was Jay Hammer (Fletcher from GL) as Alan. They had a white son and a black daughter. The first Alan, however, looked more biracial or at least latino. They did a great episode about Jenny's resentment that he could "pass" and she couldn't. Great colorism stuff that a soap would have been wise to touch upon beyond Carla Gray. First Alan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrQuartermaine Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 I wouldn't say my picks are better than the series they were spun-off from, but I enjoyed them more. Archie Bunker's Place > All in the Family The Bradys > The Brady Bunch Mama's Family > The Carol Burnett Show Knots Landing > Dallas The Facts of Life > Diff'rent Strokes The Golden Palace > The Golden Girls Saved by the Bell > Good Morning, Miss Bliss NCIS > JAG Happy Days > Love, American Style The Andy Griffith Show > The Danny Thomas Show Family Matters > Perfect Strangers Green Acres > Petticoat Junction What's Happening Now!! > What's Happening!! I also far more enjoyed the Star Trek films, the Naked Gun films, & the Perry Mason films rather than the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 First Alan was also news reporter Jesus Jarrera on Mary Hartman during the storyline where Mary was being held hostage in a Chinese laundromat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrQuartermaine Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 I knew I'd get phone calls on that one. Lol. As a soap fan, I far more enjoyed A Very Brady Christmas & The Bradys. The series had to evolve with the times, and it did just that, but in a dramatic sort of way instead of its usual slapstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrQuartermaine Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 My son owns a hotel. I found that there aren't many shows that focus on the funny side of the hotel business. The Golden Palace did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 I love all things Brady but this was my least favorite. They even ruined the theme song by slowing it down so much. Such a catchy theme, just plug in any lyrics with a couple of rhymes and you got a show! <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TooCr9mAfaI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qudhTGgIKkU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nSq7E91-hoA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> and then they ruined it! <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/73BrsCvbLjM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrQuartermaine Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 There's a version out there somewhere from the first episode where Florence Henderson sings the theme rather than an instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 Don't make me get Mabel on you! So, The Brady Kids, that wsan't Susan Olsen, was it? I'm assuming the original actors minus Susan did the voices, otherwise what a waste to have them all in the credits. Oh my God, two pandas and a bird in Mickey's wizard cap??
